Final Fantasy XIII hitting Xbox 360 in Japan?

When Final Fantasy XIII was announced for Xbox 360, Square Enix made it clear that it would be released on the Microsoft console in the west, but still stay a PlayStation 3 exclusive in Japan.

About two months after the game went multiplatform, Microsoft Taiwan said there would be an Asian Xbox 360 version, however, they later retracted those statements due to the game being published by SCE Asia.

Today, a new list of achievements for Final Fantasy XIII has appeared on Xbox.com’s Japanese site – all localized into the language. The list appears shorter than the achievement list in the west.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say the Xbox 360 version is coming to Japan. It’s all rumor until it’s confirmed, though. We’ll keep you updated.

Stay tuned.

Thanks, Kotaku and tipster Zella.
